A Wild Feminist Thing Appeared!
Random Acquaintance on Facebook: Okay I am going to rant for a minute. Two women have told me today that men have failed at making them feel special and have hurt them because they were being selfish or unkind with their words. Guys We HAVE to STOP THIS! we are gentlemen and the people who can make a woman feel special with a word or crush her in ways unimagined! Take five seconds and make the woman or women in your life feel special! Not asking for the moon here.
My Response: Girls aren't special. Girls are people. People who are fully capable of not needing men to provide them with banana stickers. Girls should learn not to be dependent on men to make them feel special, worthwhile or otherwise deserving. And if the guy you're with doesn't make you feel special, maybe you need to reevaluate why you're with someone who doesn't want to make you feel that way. A sense of worth isn't something that anyone else is obligated to give you, it's something that you earn from yourself and from other people.
So did I totally attack the guy for no reason or am I justified? Thoughts?
